Helic, Inc., the technology leader in EDA solutions for RF and high-speed
IC design proudly announces that FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR selected Helic's
VeloceRF(TM) and VeloceRaptor/X(TM) to be part of their RFIC design flow.

To meet the demands of RF and high-speed design in advanced silicon
processes, VeloceRF(TM) features a unique component-synthesis engine that
generates DRC and DFM-correct inductive devices according to designer
specifications. VeloceRF(TM) brings a complete solution for achieving an
optimal floorplan, enabling silicon area reduction by optimizing inductor
sizes. The tool de-risks the design from electromagnetic effects,
incorporating EM coupling parasitics in post-layout simulation.
VeloceRaptor/X(TM) is a breakthrough RLCK modeling tool with unparalleled
capacity and speed suitable for integrated passives such as transmission
lines, interconnects, digital high-speed lines, spiral inductive devices and
MIM/MOM capacitors.

"Freescale Semiconductor leverage their leadership in multi-gigahertz
devices to win in the gigabit networking and radar markets and we are very
proud to be part of this endeavor addressing efficiently their design needs",
said Yorgos Koutsoyannopoulos, CEO of Helic.
